Chapter five- Someone Help!
Kagome groggily picked up the phone next to her bed that had rudely interrupted her sleep. "H-Hello?" she asked rubbing the sleep from her eyes. "Hey Miroku won't shut up he wants you guys to come back."
Kagome sat up. "Inuyasha? How'd you get the number to our hotel?" she asked. "I know a lot of things that's how." She rolled her eyes. "Miroku traced us huh?" She heard him huff. "Maybe."
Kagome sighed and stood up. "Put him on." she said as she walked to the bathroom. "Hey!" came the cheerful voice of Miroku. "So what do you want Miroku?" Kagome started to brush her hair. "Why don't you guys come back! It's been a day!" he whined. "Oh and I'm sure it's tearing you apart." Kagome sighed.
"Yes it is! Tonight's the last night the fair's in town!" Kagome shook her head slowly even though he couldn't see it. "And you have to get on your case! Once you make a move to get Inuyasha hooked up with someone"-there was shouts of protest from Inuyasha- "Then you'll get your powers back!"
Kagome lit up. "we'll be right over!" she said fastly and slammed the phone down. She had spent the whole day yesterday plotting ways to get Sango and Miroku together that she forgot her real case.
Kagome walked over to Sango's sleeping figure in her bed. Kagome ripped the covers off her. "Nnnnnnnnneeeeeeeeeee!" Sango moaned curling up for more warmth.
"Sango! Get up get up get up!" Kagome said cheerfully. Sango curled up more. Kagome sat down on the bed next to her and patted her cheek gently then started to hit her harder and harder. "Up up up up up up up!" She said.
Sango sat up and hit Kagome with the pillow making her fall off the bed then fell back down and covered her head. She mumbled something under the pillow.
Kagome stood up and set her hand on her hips. "Really now how could Miroku find that pretty." Kagome said shook her head. Sango shot up and looked at her. "What!"
Kagome smiled at her. "Oh so that's how I wake you up! I mention Miroku." Sango glared at her. "How on bloody earth would that make me wake up!" she asked.
Kagome walked over to the bathroom. "Ask yourself that. You've been blushing a lot ever since that kiss Sango." Sango flustered. "I have not!" she protested. "Have to." Kagome said in a singsong voice.
Sango huffed and walked to a bag full of mortal cloths her and Kagome had bought with angel money yesterday. One of the many good things about being an angel was angel money. What ever country you where in, it took the form of money from there. Also if you where lucky like Sango and you where an angel of higher class you got the angel card. Unlimited spending money.
"Kagome!" she called. "Where's my-"
"Top drawer"
Sango eyed the bathroom door where Kagome was
"Well what about my-"
"Bottom drawer"
"And my-"
"Middle drawer"
"A-"
"Top, top, middle, bottom, middle, top"
Sango stared at the door. "How'd you know I was gonna ask those questions!" she huffed. Kagome grinned. "I have my ways..."
There was a long pause.
"And my-"
"I'm wearing it."
Inuyasha opened his mouth and let out a large yawn. "Where are they?" he asked as he stared at Miroku pacing back and forth. "I don't know!" Miroku panicked. "We called five minutes ago they should be back by now..." Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "Maybe there's traffic." he said sarcastically. Miroku sent him a weak glare. "They can just teleport- oh wait... Kagome doesn't have her powers yet..."
Inuyasha stared at him. "So they took the bus. Like I said maybe it's traffic." Miroku stopped and gripped the phone in his hand tightly. "What if they got in a car accident!" he panicked and squeezed the phone tighter until it broke in half. "My phone!" Inuyasha cried. Miroku looked down at the broken phone at his feet.
"Oops..." he said and picked it up then set it on the couch and set his hands out in front of it. Inuyasha stared at his hands as the phone repaired by itself seemingly. Inuyasha rolled his eyes and leaned back in his chair.
Miroku began to pace again. "They could be hurt!" Inuyasha sighed. "Listen to yourself Miroku you sound like an old lady..." Miroku gasped. "An old lady! What if they where mugged by an old lady!"
Inuyasha glared at him. "How pathetic are you?" he asked in a low voice.
Kagome shook her head slightly as she laughed with Sango. "And... And then, ha ha ha, and then Kagome, Miroku he... ha ha ha." Sango tried to form a full sentence but just couldn't stop laughing. "Sango calm down and tell me!" Kagome laughed before something caught her eye.
It was their bus driving away.
"We missed this bus!" she cried and started to run after it. "Wait! Come back!" she doubted yelling at the bus would get it to stop but she saw that in a movie one time. Someone missed the bus so they ran after it screaming for it to stop as if the bus could understand her.
Sango caught up to her and shook her head slightly. "I guess we're hoofing it..." she sighed.
"So tell me Miroku..." Inuyasha started as he played hacky sack in his front yard. "Why can't that Sango click just grab pixie girls... ah... what's her name's arm and teleport over here?" he asked.
Miroku sighed and rested his head in his hands. He was sitting on the rotting porch. "Kagome's not a mortal... if she was a mortal Sango could teleport with her but since she's an angel she can't. She couldn't teleport with you ether seeing how you're a-" Inuyasha cut him off by throwing the hacky sack at his head. "One more word and I'll be throwing something much bigger than a hacky sack at you Miroku."
By now it was getting dark in downtown. Kagome grabbed onto Sango's arm and moved over closer to her. "Sango... I don't remember this place on the way over..." she said quietly. "I think we're lost."
Sango grabbed her arm too. "D-Don't be silly Kagome... uh... See that's that homeless guy we passed up a few minutes ago..." Kagome stopped. "Wait... so we're going in circles?" She pointed to a wall. "I recognize that graffiti!" she cried.
"We're not lost! Just... miss guided in a direction that's no where near where we're suppose to be probably... in an area we've never been to before..."
Kagome eyed the homeless guy sitting in an alley way like he was dangerous. He struggled to get up. "Some... some money please! I-I need more... more booze!" he begged and started reeling about. He stumbled over to them with a hand out.
"W-we don't have any money sir I'm sorry!" Sango said grabbing Kagome's arm tighter. The homeless man pulled out a knife. "N-now... I dun wanna... u-use this..." he stuttered and came closer to them.
The girls screamed and ran down the street as fast as they could trying to out run the homeless guy. Kagome looked back to see him pulling off his rags to reveal a black sweater and black pants then he reached in his pocket and pulled out a ski mask as he ripped off his fake beard. He laughed as he chased them. "Ah please help me!" he mimicked them. "No one's around to help you two!" he laughed harder.
"S-Sango do something! I don't have my powers!" Kagome cried. "I can't defend us with magic unless he hurts one of us or a fellow mortal!" Sango cried. "I wouldn't hurt him unless he hurt us! Otherwise my magic would just be like a mosquito bite!" By now Kagome was sobbing.
Miroku paced back and forth more. "It's fifteen minutes before dark! We called hours ago Inuyasha where are they?" Inuyasha stood up from his spot on the porch. "I dunno... the festival starts in two hours... we'd better find them."
"Let's turn here!" Sango panted and turned into what looked like a sidewalk. She gasped seeing it was a dead end. "There you two are!" The man chuckled.
Kagome turned and screamed as loud as she could. "AAAAAAAAHHHH! SOMEONE HELP!"
The man chuckled again and walked forward slowly. His knife gleamed in the moonlight. It was dark, they where in a dead end, and a man with a knife wanted to kill them. They couldn't fight back unless he hurt them. And Kagome was absolutely sure she didn't want to wait till then.
They backed up into the wall and pulled together screaming. Kagome looked up and a large black shadow passed over her eyes. The next thing she knew the man with the knife was on the ground. He scrambled out of the alley way in a mad panic.
Kagome stared at the shadows carefully. "W-What happened?" Sango asked her looking around but Kagome kept her eyes fixed on the shadow. She moved foreword slowly to the shadow. "K-Kagome what are you doing?" Sango asked moving foreword with her.
Kagome gasped seeing the form of a man hidden in the shadows. He reached out to grab her arm. They screamed and ran out of the alley way, now they where being chased by a man who was probably more dangerous than the last.
"I-It just doesn't stop does it!" Sango sobbed. "I hate Earth!"
"Sango! Sango!" Miroku called running down the streets. "Sango where are you! Kagome? Kagome!" Inuyasha walked behind him slowly crossing his arms. "Call them with me!" Miroku begged.
"You're calling their named like their dogs or something." Inuyasha mumbled. "Just call them!" Miroku snapped. Inuyasha sighed and put a hand to his mouth. "Hey Pixie! You out there?"
Kagome turned seeing the man chasing them still and screamed louder. "You should have specified who you wanted to save us!" Sango cried.
"Next time tell me to specify!" Kagome panted and ran by the peer the stopped and pointed behind the gates. "Sango let's hide in there!" she whispered pointing to all the crates. Sango nodded and they slipped past the bent and rusted gates chained up. "Maybe there's a reason the gates are chained!" Sango whispered darting behind a crate that was hidden by others. "We'll hide separate!" Kagome whispered and walked off staying in the shadows. "Wait! Kagome!" Sango whispered reaching a hand out by pulled it back.
"Be careful!" she whispered more to herself then Kagome. She backed up into the crate to hide in the shadows. She held her breath listening for something, anything.
It was silent except for Kagome's footsteps but then another sound came.
The gates rattling and another pair of footsteps.
